Taking rapid actions on climate emergency declarations

David Symons WSP Future Ready Leader

Local authorities have 3 main influences LEAD

In our own operations

ENABLE

a low carbon region with our programmes, policies and decisions

INSPIRE

Business and residents to take climate action themselves

UNDERPINNED BY A STRONG STRATEGY

1. Leading in

• ur own
• perations

Council’s own emissions are only around 2% of total emissions, but there is still much opportunity to take action and cut costs

• Property strategies & standards
• Green memoranda with landlords
• Energy management & retrofit
• Renewables & Energy

procurement

• Avoidance – by VC / skype
• Promoting low carbon travel

choices for staff

• Fleet strategy
• Low energy streetlights
• Manging lighting levels

Buildings Travel Public Realm

• As a major buyer, procurement can lock in low carbon performance.
• Considering the energy used to produce products can also be a key way to support innovative low carbon

approaches.

Buying decisions

The “rootmap”

Sustainable Procurement and Minimising Economic, Social & Environmental Risk

East Sussex Highways

Approach:

▪ The contract is for the provision of services such as (but not limited to) maintenance of the highway network, emergency reactive services (which may be due to accidents or weather events that may affect the highway), winter maintenance (gritting etc.), professional services for the design and delivery of schemes and deliver works for developers and other third parties, (including parishes and individuals). ▪ Costain, on a monthly basis deliver scope 1 and 2 carbon monitoring for the client, monitoring the electricity, gas and fuel consumption on the project. ▪ Costain’s carbon specialty has also been used for procurement and specific scheme decisions to ensure that carbon is taken into consideration when making the decision. ▪ Through consistent and visually friendly monitoring, East Sussex Highways has been able to use carbon monitoring to make informed decisions on their fleet and depot.

Client Need:

‘East Sussex Highways recognise the importance of the Highway network. The highway infrastructure is vital to not only the economic growth of the county but to keep local communities safe and connected as promoted by

• ur councils priorities. The

local highway network is without doubt the most valuable publicly owned asset…’

Costain’s Carbon Specialism on the framework has been used for the following benefits and changes: ▪ An idling campaign reducing idling figures by 70% from the beginning to the end, reducing total fuel consumption ▪ Costain’s business case for electric vehicle has been submitted taking into account the carbon savings, linking these to cost over the contract. ▪ Recycled plastic and rubber kerbs have been added to the procurement list due to with the consideration

• f carbon benefits in mind.

▪ A trial for the use of more sustainable, cold lay HBM on the roads has been undertaken with considerations taken into the carbon benefits.

Life Cycle Assessment of H2 buses

Life cycle assessment applied to the use of H2 as fuel for buses in Liverpool – INOVYN Runcorn site

Approach:

• 1. Life cycle assessment to help understand the environmental and human health impacts

associated with the use of hydrogen fuelled buses compared to standard diesel and electric

• buses. The base case is to provide 3.5 tons of H2 per day, which could fuel up to 174 buses.
• 2. The analysis accounted for vehicle (chassis and powertrain production), fuel (production and

distribution), and use phase impacts for the three scenarios.

• 3. The life cycle assessment was developed on a ‘gate to gate’ basis according to the ISO standards

14040:2006 & 14044:2006.

• 4. The results were categorised against four damage categories: Human health, Ecosystem quality,

Climate change and Resources impacts.

Client Need:

✓ INOVYN produces H2 as a co-product

• f the chlor-alkali process

✓ Feasibility & initial engineering requirements to export this H2 as fuel for fuel-cell vehicles ✓ Demonstration of environmental gains.

• H2 v diesel - 72% Human Health (PM2.5) savings per bus – For 174 buses, daily savings are

equivalent to annual emissions associated with the average life activities of 45 UK citizens.

• H2 v diesel - 55% Climate Change (CO2eq) savings per bus – For 174 buses, daily savings are

equivalent to annual carbon footprint associated with the average life activities of 5 UK citizens.

• A daily bus journey using an electric bus yielded less impacts. However, a single bus could not

provide the daily service at once and would need to go back to the depot and recharge. This range constraint of electric buses implies the use of approximately 62 additional vehicles to provide the service of 174 diesel or H2 buses.

• Costain’s life cycle engineering approach allowed stakeholders to identify the main sources of

impacts for the use of H2 buses in Liverpool. This enables targeting of effective solutions which could further reduce environmental and human health impacts of H2 buses to EV buses levels.
